55Easy to find, very spacious! The dogs had a blast playing in the pond. The only thing is the majority of the time a random person was walking the grounds, seemingly bird watching. Beware for anyone that has dogs that aren’t people friendly. Evelyn C.

55I have taken my dogs to this sniff spot a few times. It is a great place for my dogs to run and play. Today we did a photo shoot with a friend who is also a professional photographer. I think he got some great shots.

55The pond/lake was amazing! had lots of rocks by the shore so not a place to be barefooted. We saw lots of wild life including fish and salamanders in the pond/lake. In the surrounding field we saw a sizeable gopher snake so we stuck near the water to avoid them.Kindred R.

55Nice huge area. Very easy to find. There’s a large swimming area, there are two places to get down that are not steep. I wore sandals, next time I would wear tennis shoes or hiking boots. The dogs loved it and were exhausted.Pam C.

55We had a fantastic time here, and will definitely be back! My Labrador absolutely LOVED the pond, and rolling in the grass to dry off. The dogs enjoyed running freely and getting some energy out. I noticed there were some sticky grass seeds, so check paws and fur when you leave/get home! Overall a fantastic, secluded spot that the dogs loved!Anna M.

55Absolutely beautiful slice of heaven! There were multiple spots to get down to the water around the pond, though It is quiet the drop off for your pups once they walk in the water a couple feet. I took my daughter and two dogs before sunset, walked around the field picking blackberries and listening to the crickets while the dogs enjoyed the free range until the sun went down. The grass was a bit tall (bottom of knees) and really dry (sticky balls all over your clothes!) so I recommend wearing some sort of taller boot and pants. We’ll definitely be back to enjoy this space! Nicole C.

55This was an awesome place! We missed the Sniffspot gate on our way in, but were kindly redirected by the owner. The field is nice and open, but as such, there isn't really shade, so if you're sun sensitive, be aware. I'd also recommend wearing long pants and closed shoes because there's lots of burrs and thistles. It's not terrible if you're in shorts and flip flops (as I was), just be prepared to get poked a bit ;) That all being said, this was an amazing place, the owners were super chill, and we will definitely be back to explore the other field!Melissa M.

55Wonderful area with tons of land to play and run with your dog! It's a bit overgrown right now (which my dog loved) so I would definitely recommend wearing boots and full length jeans to avoid any scrapes or irritation.Ashley K.

55My German Shepherd mix and I enjoyed our first visit! Because we're still working on recall, I used a 50ft leash. It was just us, which was relaxing. We're also working on reactivity to other dogs, so it was a nice break from that worry. We only explored part of the acreage. We'll discover more next time! Thanks to Hidden Lake Ranch and Sniffspot for giving us a place to roam!B B.

55This was our first SniffSpot experience so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. There’s a lot of area to explore! The pond was fun and a good spot to cool off. The trail down turns to rock, so be sure you have good shoes on and your dog is ok on unstable terrain. The pasture/field was huge! We only explored part of the property, but my dog loved it. The grass is tall and there are a lot of prickly stickers, so definitely wear long pants and check your dog’s fur after your visit. I have a reactive dog, so having a place to run around safely and explore was a ton of fun! Note that the freeway traffic is clearly audible. There was also what sounded like skeet shooting nearby, and that startled my dog a few times. Overall a pleasant first experience and I have one tired dog now!Sara C.
